Default Suspension questions

Any one used the Meghan LCA's? I saw them on Ebay for 75$ and I was just wondering if anyone used them or are they any good?
Also does any one know of a good progressive rate sport/lowering springs?
This may be a stupid question, but can I get away with just buying the knuckle/brake assemblies from a GSR or do I have to buy trailing links and LCA's too?

--Yes I searched already

--Any help would be much appreciated, Thanx

Stock LCA's are pretty darned good, I don't know anything about Megan.

Eibach makes some great lowering springs, and most lowering springs are progressive rate, so companes like H and R and hypercoild would all have progressive rate lowerings springs. What are you trying to do with the brake assembles from a gSR?

>>I'm just wondering so that i can get the parts together for a 4whl disc conv. I know i need the booster, brake master and hub/knuckle assemblies but every swap i've seen used the whole suspension. Just wondering if it's possible using just the knuckles and no LCA's or trailing links. The owner B4 me butchered this car and my struts are seized to the LCA's, so I figure I should replace the whole thing with a good set of springs & struts. My rear stuts are blown and I'm riding on cheap coilovers so I desperately need some info. It's still winter here so my car isn't going NE where soon (lowered civic + snow = snowplow).

a guy on here used them and seemed to like them... 92eg6 I think. The sent him the wrong ones, but all was fixed and he seemed pretty happy with them.

In terms of integra parts... if you're talking about a brake swap, up front you'll need knuckle assemblies with hub, rotors, calipers, pads and lines. Out back you'll need the trailing harm with hub, rotors, calipers, pads, lines and e-brake cables. LCA's aren't necessary for the swap unless you're trying to add swaybars too.

LCAs are not necessary, trailing arms are.

>>Thanx dood, I guess the knuckles are part of the trailing links (in the rear). And I was just taking the brake parts as a given...
>>As for the LCA's I'm just going with omni power, they're more expensive but they dealt with me nicer, and my wife thinks the stars are cute.
>>Thanks for your help every one!! :cheers:

just curious, why do you need LCAs?

B/C the LCA bolts are siezed. I'd just order a set of poly bushings and get them pressed in.

Also, you can do a rear disk conversion just by swapping hubs, the whole trailing arm isn't required. Just makes it a lot easier than pulling apart hubs...
